Stromal Tumors

  • First Online:

Abstract

Eyelid stromal tumors could be considered under several distinct categories based on the tissue of origin: fibrous tissue tumors, fibrohistiocytic tumors, lipomatous tumors, smooth muscle tumors, skeletal muscle tumors, vascular tumors, perivascular tumors, neural tumors, lymphoid, plasmacytic, and leukemic tumors, cartilage and bone tumors, secondary tumors, metastatic tumors, and hamartomas, choristomas, and other miscellaneous lesions. Some of the inflammatory and infective conditions such as chalazion, pyogenic granuloma, verruca vulgaris, and molluscum contagiosum may manifest with features clinically simulating tumors. This chapter describes the salient features and management of common eyelid stromal tumors.
